Snohomish, WA, September 28, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Big Trees Inc.,
(http://bigtreesupply.com/) a tree transplanting and tree nursery
company in the Seattle area, recently completed a difficult transplant
job of a contorted Filbert tree in South Bellevue. The tree was to be
destroyed at a site slated for demolition, before Big Trees Inc. was
called to assess the tree for the possibility of salvage. The company
approved the site for a tree preservation project, and was able to
successfully transplant the tree. The tree was a 12' tall, 2000
pound Filbert tree with a 10 inch trunk diameter and 10-12 foot canopy,
a significant size for such a tree according to Big Trees Project
Manager, Todd Holmes. Big Trees' team faced a task compounded in
difficulty by the tree's contorted trunk, and a soon discovered
landscape rock nestled into the tree's root system. The tree's
rootball suffered slight damage at the removal of the landscape rock,
but the transplant project team was able to safely transport the tree to
the company's nursery in Snohomish, Washington. Mr. Holmes is very
hopeful that the tree adjusts to its new environment and recovers from
the move.

Nancy Penrose, owner of Big Trees Inc., stated: “A tree
like that should really not come in harm's way. A good decision was
made in salvaging it. Come next spring we expect the tree will be doing
very well. The tree is an interesting specimen, for its size and
distinctive shape. We'll work to make sure it finds a fitting new
home.”
